Cannot boot into Windows Vista x64 with SP1
- Overview of the problem
I get a disk read error when booting from hard drive.
- Full description of the problem and symptoms
I installed the trial for Acronis True Image 11, but decided to remove it. I rebooted after the uninstall and was presented with a screen right after the BIOS saying
A disk read error occured
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
- Did it work normally at one time, or has the problem always existed?
Worked perfectly until I uninstalled Acronis True Image 11 (I was still able to boot normally when it was installed).
- Is the problem consistent and repeatable, or entirely random, or semi-random?
Happens every time I try to boot into Windows, cold boot, reboot, etc, etc, etc...
- I already tried these steps:
Successfully booted using a Kubuntu (x64) live CD and was able to view the hard drive.
- My software:
- Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate x64 with SP1[/i]
- Kaspersky Internet Security 2009
- My hardware
- Sony Vaio VGN-190JAH
